nVidia drivers and rawhide
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I know it's a bad mix(TM) but I do run rawhide here (updated daily), but
do need to use the nVidia 3D acceleration. Daft as it sounds, I've
always had my machines running on rawhide, but due to doing some dev
work, I need OpenGL.
What is the best way for me to do this? I know I will need to recompile
whenever I change kernel, but is there a way that I can use the livna
python script to ensure I use the correct xorg.conf file and recompile
against the new kernel modules using the either the livna src rpms or
the nVidia builder while still using a different kernel?
TTFN

Kernel or Grub
by Don Casey
OK, I have found a very reproducible issue on my system. Don't know for sure
if it is a Grub issue or Kernel. I believe that it is Grub because I have
four Kernels on my system and all produce the same response now.
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.

Install of FC4T3 fails to update MBR in Windows dual boot env.
by Srihari Vijayaraghavan
A friend of mine had this happened to him:
##### starts here #####
My PC has 3 installs of Windows XP SP2 accessed via
Windows boot manager.
When I install FC4T3 onto 10 gig of empty space on 2nd
hard drive, the install would complete successfully,
but on reboot the windows boot manager is still there,
with no sign of grub. I have installed 4 times with
same result.
##### Ends here #####
It seems as if anaconda 'forgot' to write the Grub on
the MBR of the Primary master IDE hard drive. Does
this sound like a known bug? Do you need more
information?
We are happy to raise a bug in bugzilla. A quick
search on bugzilla did not reveal a similar bug.
Thanks
Hari

Eclipse frezes the computer
by Bjorn Andersen
Hi
When i log in as root and starts Eclipse, it lock down the hole
computer. I cant even ssh it, for at reboot.
Can anyone verify that "bug"?
The reason why i will start is as root is because i need the Visual
Editor, and has to install the plugin, but thats not the reason for the
freeze. Il' never get that far before it lucks up...

ATI drivers and FC4t3
by Rodd Clarkson
I know this isn't the place to discuss proprietary drivers, but I'm
feeling envious as those NVIDIA guys stuggle with their card while
there's no word regarding ATI cards
Has anyone managed to get the ATI drivers working?
I seem to remember something about problems with it not compiling with
gcc4.0, but could be wrong.
Rodd.

nvidia and openGL
by korgull
Hi,
I experience a crash of X server when I try to run something using openGL.
I'm not sure if my approach is correct.
I'm using nvidia drivers and I removed the Mesa packages from my system.
After this there still seem to be some links left wich where installed by
xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-31
/usr/lib64/libGL.so
/usr/lib/libGL.so
The point where they link to doesn't exist anymore so I linked the first one
the nvidia provided one. There is however no 32bit one supplied with my
driver.
What do I need to do with the link /usr/lib/libGL.so ?
Regards,
Marcel

Evolution Outbox -> Sent Problem
by Ken Nordquist
I just noticed that when I send email, the email does not move from the
Outbox folder to the Sent folder. I am running Evolution 2.2.2-5 on the
1312 build of the x86_64 kernel. I noticed the same problem with the
1305 kernel as well (though I am pretty sure it is not a kernel issue).
Has anyone else experienced this problem or know of a solution?

Openoffice segmentation fault, FC4 (x86_64)
by Harry Jensen
Hi,
I'm new in the area of Fedora, but anyway, tried to install the test
release, just because of my SATA hdd.
I've installed OpenOffice, and it just worked out of the box, but for
some reason I cannot start it now, and gets the following:
/usr/lib/openoffice.org1.9.104/program/soffice: line 247: 2912
Segmentation fault "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@"
...I have installed plenty of programs after OpenOffice, so there is
probably one of those generating this fault, but which one is the wise
question ;-)
..could someone give me a little hint of in which direction to search,
or maybe a tool to use in the search ;-)
..thanks in advance.

PS: was posted in fedora-list, but just discovered this "-test-list",
and thought this was the correct one to use.

Strange USB Pen problem
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Just noticed this one. What component should the bug get put under
though?
If I use my USB pen and transfer something to it where the filename is
all uppercase, the filename is converted to all lowercase (for example
SENDA becomes senda).
Everything still works, but it's a strange one.
TTFN
